The Mantorville City council will be holding the first public hearing on the new waste water treatment plant options. This meeting will start at 6:30pm on March 25 at the Fire Station. The final option that the city chooses will affect the residents sewer and local tax rates so residents are strongly encouraged to attend the public hearing and let the council know your thoughts and concerns.
Mantorville citizens are also encouraged to provide feed back to the council on some of the other issues that are up for consideration. The council is considering allowing chickens in town given some constraints, loosening up some of the restrictions on number of dogs a home can have and project ideas for the use of the Rochester sales tax. Citizens can provide feedback via the mayors blog located at MayorBradford.BlogSpot.Com
The city was given some preliminary numbers on what each of the 17 cities can expect as a share of the sales tax; however, the state legislature is in the process of considering legislation that could potentially change the portion that the city gets. The new legislation could change the amount that Mantorville receives and it could go up or down but more than likely Mantorville will still receive some of these funds. The EDA is currently compiling a list of ideas that we could spend these funds on keeping in mind that the funds have to be spent on economic development. We strongly encourage citizens to submit their ideas for consideration. Ideas can be sent to my email address of MantorvilleMayor@gmail.com or added as a comment on my blog at MayorBradford.BlogSpot.Com
I would like to include a few reminders. Street lights, if citizens see a burned out or blinking street light please let city hall know 635 - 5170 and our city staff will see to it that they get fixed
As spring approaches the city will once again encounter frost boils and pot holes, please update city hall as these become issues as well.
Feedback on our employees is always welcomed and will be considered during our monthly personnel meeting. Send your observations to MantorvilleMayor@gmail.com
Remember to attend the public meeting on the 25th and let the council know which option you would like the city to pursue. More details about the options can be found in my last article which is also posted on my blog at MayorBradford.BlogSpot.com. I look forward to seeing many of you next Monday night.
Yours in service
Chuck Bradford, Mayor - City of Mantorville
